A fraudulent and grammatically incorrect PayPal email asking for account holders' personal information is making the rounds today.

The email contains the Internet billing system's logo and appears professional, but the email sender's name does not contain a PayPal address, which is always used when sending out account queries or updates.

A customer service representative at PayPal said today that any legitimate PayPal correspondence would come from paypalservice.com or paypal.com and that PayPal would never ask customers to click on a link and provide personal information.

"We would ask you to call us," the representative said.

Another phrase that raised eyebrows regarding this particular email was that the form asks customers to "Now check the account informations that belongs to you!"

(Even our grammar checker didn't like that noun-verb agreement.)
